Carbon capture project to begin construction

A major carbon capture and storage network is ready to begin construction in North Wales and the North West of England.

The government has finalised a deal with energy company Eni including £2 billion in supply chain contracts for the Liverpool Bay Carbon Capture and Storage Project.

The project will create a network of clean infrastructure, decarbonising industries like energy from waste, hydrogen and cement production.

Prime minister Keir Starmer said: "Our Plan for Change is working – we said we’d deliver jobs and growth through carbon capture technology, and now we have. Shovels ready for the ground, supporting over 2,000 new jobs and supporting thousands more, transforming the lives of hard-working people.

Energy secretary Ed Miliband said: "Today we keep our promise to launch a whole new clean energy industry for our country - carbon capture and storage - to deliver thousands of highly skilled jobs and revitalise our industrial communities.

"We are making the UK energy secure and backing our engineers, electricians and welders so we can protect families and businesses and drive jobs through our Plan for Change."
